PROBLEM. Easy Base fails to start with the message "Insufficient memory to load overlays" If EMS is present EB will attempt to load its overlays in it. EB requires just under 2Meg of EMS. If there is no EMS then EB will swap its overlays from disk. If EMS is present but there is not enough then EB may fail with the above error message. If you get the above message you can either:- 1. Free up more EMS if you physically have it but it has been assigned to another device. 2. Rem out your EMS driver in your Config.SYS if you do not have enough physical EMS. PROBLEM. Easy Base starts but will not change Data Directories. To change data directories Easy Base requires an MS DOS or compatible Command processor as Shell. Changing directories may not be possible if you are running a DOS extender such as 4DOS and have customized the DIR Command.
